Sholder belts. Who rebuilds them

[grs]

Do you know of a company that re webs the seat belts. I am changing my interior to black. So I need black belts for my 87.

There are a few out there, but they are really expensive. Your best bet is to dye them. Take a look here for more info- Seat Belts....Make The Old Look New Again

Something I feel should be mentioned is what the process might do to the integrity of the seatbelts. There are those that feel the belts should not be bleached, and those that feel it will compromise the integrity of the belt webbing. Personally I tend to lean toward the conservative side, and would not recommend using bleach on the belts.

I suggest doing some research and form your own opinion since it could affect the safety of you and your passengers.

Seat belts are sewed with an industrial sewing machine (such as found in an upholstery shop) Make sure they use nylon thread and not polyester thread. Some shops will do it, some wont. If you look at how they're sewed, it's very minimal. And you can wash them in a washing machine and drip dry.

Thanks, I will try to dye mine first. If that fails I will buy new ones.

I dyed my blue belts black. They still are blue in some areas. some areas are a little black. The directions say to rinse them til the water is clear. I think that took the dye out. I will call Rit company and ask them. I hate doing a job twice.
